NCAA and Idiots

Have you been following the news this week from the NCAA? NCAA teams will not be allowed to use nick names that are "insensitive" to Native Americans. Ooops, well not exactly, seems they only deem those nicknames to be offensive during post-season play. Now, if we were talking about the NHL, and maybe even the NBA, I could understand this. Who cares about those sports during the regular season anyway. Heck, in the NHL, almost everyone seems to make the playoffs, so why don't they just have a preseason, then head straight to the playoffs?

But, I digress....back to the NCAA. Ever wonder where some of those idiot judges go that continue to release pedophiles back to society and onto our kids? We found them..they are working for the NCAA in their off time. Who came up with this policy. If it is offensive to use the nicknames, then make it apply to the entire NCAA experience. Not just the playoffs.

You know...I used to wonder what happened to J. Elders -- however you spell it, don't care enough to google it to get it right. You remember her, she was Clinton's Surgeon General. I think you can summarize her policies with a simple statement:
--- It's ok for kids to have sex, as long as they don't smoke afterwards ---
Don't misquote me, she never said that, but her policies carried that weight.

Well here we are...back to the NCAA. Get a set guys (and gals -- although I wonder how many women think that Native American names are offensive). If the policy is good, then apply it across the board, all year. This "post-season" stipulation makes about as much sense as...well as Larry the Cable Guy would say, " wiping before you poop." We entrust the education of America's next generation to you, and this is the best you can do?
